Pros
Great training from the Firm level "Know Your Customer" and to get your securities licenses. Awesome customer support from the home office.
Cons
Some of the local trainers are just assigned positions to move up in company. Spent almost a year working out of a field trainers office. I never had the opportunity to sit in on an appointment and she never went with me once to go door knocking. That's because she never went door knocking the entire time I was in her office. (She got a good knight). How are you suppose to be my trainer when you don't even do the essential task that EJ requires ALL new FAs to do on a daily basis. She was also a Forces Field trainer, which is for military veterans to help them in the program. (Which she never served). The only reason I think she was assigned to me was for the financial break she got off her P & L (profit and lose around $600).
